Leinster make four changes for the Heineken European Cup tie against Ospreys at the RDS tomorrow night.
Cian Healy made a surprise appearance from off the bench last week and starts this time out.
Another frontrower Martin Moore comes in along with backrowers Rhys Ruddock and Shane Jennings.
Another welcome addition to the Blues squad is the inclusion of Richardt Strauss on the bench.
The Irish hooker had been ruled out for the season after a heart condition was spotted last October.
On the eve of the last group game of this season's competition came the news that Sean O'Brien's staying with Leinster.
The Tullow Tank's parking himself at the RDS for another two years.
The talismanic O'Brien had been linked with a move to France but he remains a homebird.
